Mary Shelley Makes a Monster
by Octavia Cade
All our monsters are mirrors. And when Mary Shelley’s monster—built
from her life rather than her pen, born out of biography instead of
blood—outlives its mother, that monster goes looking for a
substitute. But all the monster really knows of women is that women
write, and so the search for a replacement takes it first to Katherine
Mansfield, and then to other women who know what mutilated things can
be made from ink and mirrors….

The Rampant
by Julie C. Day
Equal parts playful and heartbreaking, this apocalyptic novella offers
one-of-a-kind answers about the end of the world....Day conveys
genuine empathy for the two young women, who are still learning about
themselves (including a sweet crush of Gillian’s), while never
relinquishing the archaic fear instilled by the presence of ancient
gods and the televangelists who have smoothly pivoted into running the
Sumerian Revivalist Church. This clever and surprisingly fun take on
the rapture is the perfect theological horror story.

The Little Animals
by Sarah Tolmie
Antoni Van Leeuwenhoek, a quiet linen draper in Delft, has discovered
a new world: the world of the little animals, or animalcules, that he
sees through his simple microscopes. These tiny creatures are
everywhere, even inside us. But who will believe him? Not his wife,
not his neighbors, not his fellow merchants—only his friend Reinier
De Graaf, a medical doctor. Then he meets an itinerant goose girl at
the market who lives surrounded by tiny, invisible voices. Are these
the animalcules also? Leeuwenhoek and the girl form a curious
alliance, and gradually the lives of the little animals infiltrate
everything around them: Leeuwenhoek’s cloth business, the art of his
friend Johannes Vermeer, the nascent sex trade, and people’s religious
certainties. But Leeuwenhoek also needs to cement his reputation as a
natural philosopher, and for that he needs the Royal Society of
London—a daunting challenge, indeed, for a Dutch draper who can't
communicate in Latin.
"[A] charming mannerist fairy tale and a provocative account of the
birth of our own modern worldview."

Articulation
by Cesi Davidson
“In these fanciful, often hilarious plays you will discover a
fantastic variety of character—familiar nursery-rhyme figures who
work in a ninety-nine-cent store and bet on horses, bananas and
radishes, who discuss their ill-fated destinies, birds who sing songs
of unrequited love, time travelers who skip about from Caribbean
present-day to slavery-era Virginia, bunnies who meet in support
groups.''

Trapped in the R.A.W.
by Kate Boyes
Click here for a short video description.
A young woman working alone in a small special collections library is
trapped in the building when invaders overrun her town. She barricades
the doors, peeks through a window, and watches in horror as people are
murdered outside. The invaders wear uniforms that cover them
completely, making it impossible for her to see their faces. However,
she realizes at once that they do not intend to subjugate the
population. They intend to annihilate it.
Trapped in the R.A.W. is a journal of the young woman’s
solitary struggle to protect the books while keeping herself fed,
hydrated, warm, and sane.

and peculiar empowerment—and don’t forget to pick up your spare heart
while you’re there.

Everything is Made of Letters
by Sofía Rhei
A man risks his life by carefully forging bibliographic references in
a parallel Barcelona; at the Cyclotech, a woman strives to keep the
storytelling different engine safe from ignorant hands that could get
words lost; off-planet, an interpreter gives an account of her
language learning process involving a realistic alien doll that claims
to be a sentient being… Words boast a heavy, at times disturbing,
weight of their own across these alternative realities in which
language rules supreme, fleshed out by the mind of one of the most
prolific writers in contemporary Spanish genre fiction.
